When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the
key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be
when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand
the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life. ~ John Lennon

Be grateful for and celebrate the beauty in all things because beauty is
everywhere; and ignore all limitations and boundaries wherever they are
found, because they are illusion. ~ David Sanders

I think over again my small adventures,
my fears, those small ones that seemed so big,
all those vital things I had to get and to reach,
and yet there is only one great thing:
to live and see the great day that dawns,
and the light that fills the world.

~ Innuit Traditional Song

Grant me daily the grace of gratitude, to be thankful for all my many
gifts, and so be freed from artificial needs, that I might lead a
joyful, simple life. ~ Edward Hays
